Unemployment in the eurozone reached 12.2 per cent in May, the European Union’s statistics agency said Tuesday, revising figures that it had released the day before.
Eurostat said the unemployment rate used for France in its earlier calculation had been incorrect — 10.4 per cent had been listed instead of 10.9 per cent.
Thus, the jobless rate in the 17-member currency bloc was 12.2 per cent instead of the previously announced 12.1 per cent. A total of 19.3 million people had been looking for work in May.
In the wider 27—member EU, the unemployment rate was 11 per cent with 26.5 million people without a job.
